The model of reusability of series system product

The main goal of this paper is to create the reverse logistics model that uses reliability theory to describe reusability of product parts with assumption that recovered components are used in production process but they aren’t as good as new ones. The model allows to estimate the potential profits of the reusing policy in a production and gives the base to optimize some of the process parameters: the threshold work time of returns or the warranty period for products containing reused elements.
